After
shipping back to Oklahoma City,
Joy Of The Dance used a seven
and a
half furlong turf event
to make her ‘08 Remington Park
debut on August
22. After running seventh
of eight through most
of the event, she made a mild
rally to finish fourth.
She collected a check for $827
for her effort.
Shortening to five furlongs on
the Lone Star turf
course, Joy Of The Dance ran
behind all rivals for
most of the July 24
event. She finished well in
the stretch for fifth place and
a $375 check.
In her last outing, a seven and
a half furlong grass
test at Lone Star, Joy Of The
Dance settled after
being brushed at the start of
the July 13 event. A
four-wide bid
in the stretch failed to yield
results
and the mare finished seventh,
good for a $100
check.
On June 22 Joy Of The Dance ran
in a seven and a
half furlong turf event at Lone
Star Park. Again,
the mare was presented with
challenges in the
form of a four-wide run in the
first turn, as well as
being blocked in the final
eighth mile. Joy Of The
Dance performed well to finish
second, good for
a $2,540 check.
Joy Of The Dance, once again,
showed her heart,
grit and determination when
finishing third in a
seven and a half furlong turf
race on May 31.
She was bumped at the start of
the Lone Star
Park event, bumped again
soonafter, forced to
race wide and then blocked in
the stretch and
forced to alter her
course. Eventhough, the
mare
finished well to collect $1,353
for third place.
On Lone Star Park’s Kentucky
Derby Day card Joy
Of The Dance went postward in a
seven and a half
panel grass race. She
stalked the pace in second
throughout the event and battled
fiercely in the
stretch with the leader, but
came up a neck short
at the finish line. She
earned a check for $2,760
for her performance.
After breaking inward and
angling in early, Joy Of
The Dance raced behind all
rivals for the first half of
a seven and a half furlong turf
event on April 18.
Improving to fifth when she was
three-wide
turning for home, she finished
fourth, good for a
$810 check.
Stretching out to a mile on
Houston’s turf course,
Joy Of The Dance again showed
fortitude through-
out the February 8
race. Racing five-wide
early
and then four-wide in the
stretch, the mare still
gained ground late to finish
second by 1/2 length.
Her bankroll was increased by
$1,700 for the effort.
